Objective of the Project
Theoretical Knowledge without Practical Experience is of no use. So, without Practical
implementations, theory remains no use. Hence we need to gain the Practical Experience. And
what better would be, then a Project work for the same.
Also as a part of our PGDM curriculum, we need to undergo for the Summer Internship
programmed for minimum of 8 Weeks, in a company.
I selected area of MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY, which pools the funds & reduces risk by investing in
different diversified assets.Istudied as to how this industry proves to an option for the investors,
by studying the performance of mutual funds for few months considering their Net Asset Values.
Hence this is a project work on a “Debt Portfolio Analysis with special reference to Kotak Bond
Fund”.
Selection of Topic
Generally, when we decide to study the investment options available in today’s complex & risky
scenario, we should thoroughly evaluate the option upon various factors. These factors should
include:
 The Past Performance of the option under study
 Risk adjusted returns from the invested plan
 The Economic Factors
 Fund House
When observed the above parameters for the evolution of The Financial Performance of the
option under study, then immediate concept that clicks our mind is MUTUAL FUNDS. So for this,
I have selected to study Debt Scheme Analysis as investment option.
Study of Debt Fund includes: -
 Study of Debt, Bonds, Securities, etc.
 Risk Measurement & risk diversifications
 Analyzing a Particular Scheme.
7
Objective of the Study
 How to find the RIGHT SCHEME to buy & Redeem at RIGHT TIME, thereby mobilizing the
saving aptly.
 How to get good return on investment
 How to achieve Capital appreciations
 To analyze the performance of Various Schemes of the Fund House.
Methodology of the Project
Defining objective won’t suffice unless & until a proper methodology is to achieve the objectives.
1. The methodology of the project here is to analyze the investments Opportunities
available for the investors & study the returns & risk involved in various investment
opportunities.
2. Study of investment management, risk management & portfolio Diversification.
3. The methodology of the project here is to analyze the Mutual Fund performance based
on: -
 NAV (Net Asset Value): - It tracked the daily NAV’s of the Mutual Funds to compute
the performance.
 Total Return Basis: By taking into account dividends distributed by the funds between
the two NAV s change to arrive at a total return.
 Portfolio turnover Ratio: This means the Amount of Buying & selling done by a fund.
 Study Financial & Legal obligations of Mutual Funds.
Scope of the Study
The study encompasses different aspects from point of view of investors as follows.
1. Investment portfolio selection
2. types of Mutual Funds
3. Expected returns on investment
4. Investment in Tax Saving Schemes.
Despite various problems, India Could still have a lot of profitable opportunities to offer in this
sector. And giventhe fact it is the major emerging market to open up. It is equally important that,
even if its various Fund Investments can harness a small part of the total funds available
internationally, Indian Foreign Exchange reserves will shoot up. According to World Bank Study,
portfolio investment in the emerging markets will rise (Actual figures are yet not published for
the same).
8
Limitations of the Study
 This project is not funded one, hence it gets restricted to a mere in depth study & few
guidelines for investors.
 This study is carried out in pursuance of curriculum MBA, which is mandatory for period
of two months; hence exhaustive data is not available upon which conclusion can be
relied upon.
 NAV are prone to environmental factors 7 which would influencethe value during trading.
Investments in Securities carry risks & Mutual Fund units are no exception.
 Risk being erosion in the Market value of the Investment of decrease in the percentage
dividends declared by the Mutual Fund. The risk factors inherent in a Mutual Fund
Schemes are the schemes, market risk, & the investment experience of the Asset
Management Company.
 Factors affecting the Market Price of Investment may be due to Market forces,
performance of the companies, Govt. Policies, Interest rates & so on.
 Study for all the existing Mutual Fund Schemes is not feasible, Sample schemes of all
Mutual Fund Types are considered for the Study.

DEBT PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Debt portfolio has to contend with the construction & management of portfolio debt instrument,
the primary objective of generating income. Just as the inquiry fund manager has to go through
a stock selection process, a debt fund manager has to select from whole universe of debt
securities he wants to invest in.
Classification of Debt Securities
Many instruments give regular income. However, in the context of debt mutual funds, manager
invest only in market-trader instrument (not in loans as done by the bank) debt instrument
may be secured by the assets of the borrowers as in case of corporate, or be unsecured as is
the case with Indian Financial Bond.
A Debt is issued by a borrower & is often known by the issuercategory thus giving us Government
security & Corporate Securities or FI Bonds. Debt instrument are also distinguished by their
maturity profile. Thus, instrument issued with short term maturities, typically under one year
maturities are classified as Money Market Securities instrument carrying Long then one year
maturities are generally called Debt Securities.
Most debt securities are interested bearing. However, there are securities that are discounted
securities or zero coupon bonds that are generally fixed that pay interest on a Floating Rate basis.
There are lots of new instruments coming in the debt markets.
10
Instruments in the Indian Debt Market
The objective of a debt is to provide investors with a stable income stream. Hence, a debt fund
invests mainly in instrument that yields a fixed rate of return & where the principal is secured.
The debt market in Indian offers the following instruments for investment for by Mutual Funds.
Certificates of Deposits
Certificates of Deposit (CD) are issued by scheduled commercial banks excluding regional rural
banks. These are unsecured negotiable promissory notes. Banks CDs have a maturity period of
91 days to one year, while those issued by FI s have maturities between one & three years.
Collateralized Borrowing and Lending Obligation (CBLO)
A collateralized borrowing and lending obligation (CBLO) is a money market instrument that
represents an obligation between a borrower and a lender as to the terms and conditions of the
loan. Collateralized borrowing and lending obligations (CBLOs) are used by those who have been
phased out of or heavily restricted in the interbank call money market.
Commercial Paper
Commercial Paper (CP) is a short term, unsecured issued by corporate bodies (Public & Private)
to meet short-term working capital requirement. Maturity varies between 3 months & 1 year.
This instrument can be incorporated in Indian. CP s can be issued to NRI s on non-repairable &
non- transferable basis.
Corporate Debentures
The debentures are usually issued by manufacturing companies with physical assets, as secured
instruments; in the form of certificates they are assigned a credit rating by rating agencies.
Trading in Debentures is generally based on the current yield & market values are based on yield
of maturity. All publicly issued Debentures is listed on exchange.
Floating Rate Bonds
These are short to medium term bearing instruments issued by the financial intermediaries &
corporate. The typicalmaturity of these bonds is 3to 5 years.FRB s issuedby FinancialInstitutions
are generally unsecured while those from private corporate are secured. The FRB s are pegged
to different reference as much as T- bill or bank deposits rates. The FRB s issued by the
Government of Indians are in the form of Stock Certified of issued by credit to SGL accounts
maintained by the RBI.
11
Government Security
These are medium to long term interest bearing obligations issued through the RBI by the
Government of India & State Governments. The RBI decides the cut-off on the basis of bids
received during the auctions. These are issued where the rates are pre-specified & the investor s
only bids for the quality. In most cases, the coupon is paid semiannually with bullet redemption
features.
A large part of the trading is concentrated in those government securities that are eligible for
repost (repurchase) transition, i.e. sale of a security with a parallel agreement to repurchase the
same at a future date. The RBI acts as the depository; its public debt office maintains an SGL
account for various banks & Financial Institution, & issues or transfers the securities in the form
of book entries made in SGL accounts. If a fund does not have an SGL account, it may open a
constitution account with any RBI- registered bank.
Treasury Bills
T- Bills are shortly obligation issued through the RBI by the Government of India at a discount the
RBIIssues T-Bills fordifferent tenures: 14 days, 91 days &364 days.These treasury bills areissued
through an auction procedure. The yield is determined on the basis bids tendered & accepted.
Bank/ FI Bond
Most of the institutional bonds are in the form of promissory notes transferable by endorsement
& delivery. These are negotiable, issued by the Financial Institution such as IDB/ ICICI/ IFCI or by
commercial bank. These instruments have been issued both as regular income bonds & as
discounted long term instruments (deep discount bonds).
Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) Bonds
PSU Bonds are medium & long term obligation issued by Public sector companies in which the
government shareholding is generally greater than 51%. Some PSU Bonds carry tax exemptions.
The maximum maturity is 5 years for Taxable bonds & 7 years for Tax- Free Bonds. PSU bonds are
generally, not guaranteed by the government & are in the form of promissory notes transferable
by endorsement & delivery. PSU bonds in Electronic form (Demat) are eligible report
transactions.
Basic Characteristics of Bonds or Debt Security
A debt fund or a bond fund generally invest a large part of its corpus in longer term fixed income
in debit securities issued by government, companies or Banks/ FI s. A small part is invested in
money market. In Indian context, long dated government securities, corporate debentures & FI
Bonds from the bulk of debt fund portfolios.
12
Bonds have the following four keys characteristics set at the time of issue:
 Par Value: This is the principal amount that investors will be paid upon Maturity of the
bonds, & is also known as the face value.
 Coupon: This is the annual rate of interest paid on the par value of the Bond to the
investor.
 Maturity: This refers to the term of the bond that is, the date on which the Bond that is,
the date on which the issuer has to repay the principle amount of the Bond.
 Call orProvision:Theseareincluded insome bond contracts to allow the issuerthe option
to redeem the bonds before Maturity thereby allowing refinance of debt at lower interest
rates.
Measuring of Bond Yields: Returns on a fixed income security is generally computed in the form
of Current Yield or a Yield to Maturity.
Current Yield: This relates interest on a Bond to its Current Market Price by dividing the annual
coupon interest by the current market price.
 Yield to Maturity (YTM): This is a sophisticated technique of bond analysis. Posen defines
YTM (also known as the bonds IRR) as the annual rate of return & investors would realize
if he a bond at a particular price, & received the principal at maturity. YTM allows
investors to compare bond with different coupons, maturities & price & is quoted for
trading purposes. The relationship between the price & YTM of a bond is expressed by
the following formula:
PRICE= Coupon / (1+ YTM) + Coupon2 / (1+ YTM) 2. +(Coupon Principle) / (1+ YTM) n
The inverse relation between price & YTM is important in bond portfolio management.
 Yield Curve: This is the graph showing yields for bonds various maturities, using a
benchmark group of bond, such as the Government Securities. This is also known as the
Term Structure of Interest Rates (TRIR). This yields curve usually upwards sloping become
longer maturities generally offer higher yields. This is because longer term debt carries
higher risk on account of inflation & other economic factors. The yield curve is important
indicators of expected trends in interest rates.
13
Riskin Investing in Bond
1) Interest Rates-Risk: The price of bond will change in a direction opposite to movement in
interest rates. When interest rates rise bond price will fall, thus an existing bond portfolio losing
valve. A sound analysis of interest rates movement is therefore essential.
2) Reinvestment Risk: A bonds yield to maturity assumes reinvestment of interest received
during the term at a constant rate. This not may be possible if interest rate changes & risk is of
uncertain cash flow being reinvested at a lower rate.
3) Call Risk: If a bond has been issued with a call provision the issuer may call them back & return
the proceeds to the investors whenever interest rates fall, so the borrowing can be replaced with
cheaper debt. The investor thus cannot keep a high yield bond.
4) Default Risk: A bond is a subject to the risk that is assured may default on its obligation to
make timely principle & interest payments. A fund needs to assess this risk based on the bonds
rating & the analysis generated by its research on issuer s cash flows.
5) Inflation Risk: When the inflation rate rises, purchasing power decline. Therefore, the value of
interest payment is reduced. Investors will therefore expect higher yields in bonds. Higher
interest rate will make the existing bond lose value again.
6) Liquidity Risk: This refer to the ease with which investment in a bond can be liquidated (or
sold) at a price near its value. This element is important for a fund because its investments are
made on behalf of unit-holder & market conditions may require the fund to liquidate a part of its
portfolio within a short time.
Investment Policies andRestriction
Investment Policy:
Investment Policies of each scheme are dictated by its investment objective as stated in the offer
document. In practice the board policy guidelines are included in the offer documents while the
day to day policies are laid down by the AMC management for the fund manager to conform to
fund manager do have some flexibility in alerting the strategy in the light of changing market
condition & in
specific selection.
Investment strategy of an equity fund will lay down guideline on which sectors & what kind of
companies to invest in, what percentage will be held in the form of cash or money market
14
securities or how much in debt securities. Usually minimum & maximum allocation of funds to
each class- Equity & Cash is specified.
Investment policies of a debt fund will also lay down guidelines on the portfolio & their average
maturity. Minimum & Maximum percentage of Cash/ money market instruments in the portfolio
has to be specified too.
Investment policy of balanced funds will specify the minimum & maximum asset allocations to
equity & debt / cashbesides the normal guidelines for the equity &debt components. Investment
policies of the money market funds will largely specify the type of instrument preferred & their
profile.
Investment Restrictionby SEBI:
While the AMC management the AMC determines the investment policies & its fund manager
must also comply with the restriction imposed by regulator-mostly SEBI & in case of money
market fund the RBI. SEBI s main objective in laying down restriction on AMC s is to ensure
investor protection. The objective is attained by:
1. Maintaining minimum level of diversification in Mutual Fund Investments.
2. Ensuring that the Investor s funds are used to favor a few or associated invested in
approved securities only. To attain this Regulatory objectives, some major restrictions
imposed by SEBI.
Minimum Portfolio DiversificationNorms
Investment in equity shares or equity related instruments of a single company are restricted to
10% of the NAV as a scheme. However, the limit of 10 % does not apply in case of sector/industry
specified schemes subject to adequate discloser in the offer documents. The basic objective here
is to ensure that a fund a fund has an adequately diversified portfolio unless the specified
objective if the scheme is to limit the investments.
Similarly, for debt schemes, SEBI restricts the investment in rated investment grade debt
instrument issued by a single issuer is not allowed to exceed 10% of the NAV subject to approval
of board of AMC & trustee company?
These restrictions do not apply to & money & government securities. SEBI s restriction on the
investment in unlisted share to a minimum of 10 % of the NAV of a scheme for closed end
scheme. In case of open ended the limits may be made more stringent to 5% of the NAV of the
scheme as there is continuous purchase by investors in such a scheme.

INTRODUCTION TO MUTUAL FUNDS
The Concept of Mutual Fund Industry
A Mutual Fund is a common pool money into which investor place their contribution that is to be
investors in accordance with a stated objective. The ownership of the joint or Mutual, the fund
belongs to the contribution make a single investor s ownership of the fund to the total amount
of the fund. A mutual fund is a collective investment that allows many investors, with a common
objective, to pool individual investments and give to a professional manager who in turn would
invest these monies in line with the common objective. A Mutual Fund used the money collected
from investors to buy those assets, which are specifically permitted by its stated investment
objective. Thus an equity fund would buy equity asset- ordinary shares, preferences share,
warrants etc. a bond fund would buy debt instrument such as debentures, bonds, or government
securities. It is these assets, which are owns by the investor in the same proportion as their
contribution bears to the total contribution of all investor put together.
Since each owner is a part owner of a Mutual Fund, it is necessary to establish the value of his
part. In other words, each share or unit that investors hold needs to be assigned a value. Since
the unit held by investors evidence the ownership of the funds asset, the value of total asset of
the fund. When divided by the total number of units issuedby the Mutual Fund gives us the value
of one unit. This is generally called the net asset value (NAV) of the number of unit held.
Emergence of Mutual Fund
Mutual Funds now represent perhaps the most appropriate investment opportunity for most
investor, as financial markets become more sophisticated & complex. Investors need a Financial
Intermediary who provides the required knowledge & professional expertise on successful
investing. It is no wonder then in the birthplace of Mutual Fund the U.S.A. the fund industry has
already overtaken the banking industry more funds being under Mutual Fund Management than
deposited with the bank.
The Indian Mutual Fund Industry is a fast growing segment of the economy. The Industry consists
of 36 Mutual Funds including Unit Trust of India. With 397 schemes spread over variety products
the industry today manages assets close to Rs. 97,000 crores.
The Indian Mutual Fund Industry has already started opening up, of many of exciting investment
opportunity to Indian investors. We have started witnessing the phenomenon of more saving
now being entrusted to the funds than to the banks. Mutual Funds as still a new Financial
Intermediary in India. Hence it is important that the investors should make proper analysis of the
available scheme in the market. The investment advisor & even the fund employees acquire
better knowledge of what Mutual Funds are. What, they can do for investor & what they cannot
16
& how they function differently from other intermediaries such as the banks. The association of
Mutual Funds in India has commissioned a workbook, as the basic compellation of the minimum
knowledge requires by both fund distributors & the employees. The workbook provided by AMFI
can serve as a guide distributors & employees.
History ofMutual Funds in India
The Indian Mutual Fund Industry began with the formation of the Unit Trust of India (UTI) in 1964
by the Government. UTI was formed as a non-profit organization governed under a special
legislation, the Unit Trust of India Act, 1963. It had a monopoly up to 1987 & during this period,
UTI launched a series of equity & debt schemes & established itself as a household name with
assets under management of Rs. 4563 crore & unit holder accounts of slightly under 3 Million by
mid-1987. UTI s growth continued up to 1996 when the strong entry of private sector players saw
its share of the market reducing sharply although UTI continues to be a dominant force in the
Indian Financial Services industry with assets of over Rs. 67,000 crores as of December 31, 1999.
In 1987, the Industry saw the entry of Public Sector Mutual Funds, i.e. funds promoted by public
sector banks & financial institutions, such as SBI, Canara Bank, LIC & IDBI. Predictably they were
given the brand of them promoters such as SBI Mutual Fund, Canara bank Mutual Fund, and LIC
Mutual Fund & IDBI Mutual Fund. Other Public Sector Mutual Funds also entered the market but
UTI continued to remain the dominant player with a share of 84% in 1991-92.
The Government first allowed private sector participation in 1993 & the subsequent entry of a
large number of players has made the industry very competitive. The diagram below shows the
three segments & a few of the players in each segment.
UTI was started, at the initiative of the Reserve Bank of India & the Government of India. The
objective then was to attract the small investors & introduce them to market investment. Since,
then the History of Mutual Funds in India can be broadly divided into three distinct phases.
Phase I: 1964 87 (Unit Trust of India)
This phase spans from 1964 to 1988. In 1963, UTI was establishedby an act of Parliament & given
a monopoly. Operationally, UTI was set up by the Reserve Bank of India, but was later de-linked
from the RBI. The first & still one of the largest schemes, launched by the UTI was Unit Scheme
1964. Over the years, US-64 attracted & probably still has the largest number of investors in any
single investments schemes.

Establishment of UTI in 1963: -In 1978, UTI was delinked from the RBI & the Industrial
Development Bank of India (IDBI) & took over the regulatory & administrative control in place of
RBI. The first scheme launched by UTI was Unit
Scheme in 1964.At the end of 1988 UTI had Rs.6,
700 crores of assets under Mgmt. UTI had grown
large as evidence by the following statistics:
Phase II: 1987-1993 (Entry of Public Sector Funds)
1987, Marked the entry of non-UTI public sector Mutual Funds, bringing in competition. With the
opening of economy, many public sector bank & financial institution was allowed to establish
Mutual Funds. The State Bank of India established the first non-UTI Mutual Fund- SBI Mutual
Fund- in November 1987. This was followed by Can Bank Mutual Fund (launched in December,
1987), LIC Mutual Funds (launched in 1989) & Indian Bank Mutual Funds (launched in 1990)
followed by Bank of India Mutual Fund, GIC Mutual Fund & PNB Mutual Fund.
The private sector players, after an indifferent start in the early years, have made a strong
impression especially in the larger cities, with a high quality of fund management, sales &
customer service. This sector has dented UTI’s dominance resulting in a falling market share
towards the end of the last millennium.

Second Phase (1987-1993) / Entry of Public Sector Funds: -
1987 marked the entry of Non- UTI, Public Sector Mutual Fund setup by Public Sector Banks &
LIC of India & General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC) SBI Mutual Fund was the First Non-
UTI Mutual Fund established in June 1987 followed by Canara bank Mutual Fund (Dec.1987),
Punjab National Bank Mutual Fund (Aug.1989), Indian Bank Mutual Fund (Nov.1989), Bank of
India (Jan.1990), Bank of Baroda Mutual Fund (Oct.1992). LIC establishedits Mutual Fund in June
1989 while GIC had setup its Mutual Fund in Dec. 1990. At the end of 1993, The Mutual Fund
Industry had assets under Mgmt. Of Rs. 47,004 Crores.
Gilt Funds
1. Next only to money market fund in risk order
2. Gilts- government securities with medium to long term maturities over one year
3. Investment in government paper called dated securities
4. Negligible risk of default
5. Risk arising out of changes in market price of debt securities
6. Debt securities prices fall when interest rate rise.
Debt Funds
1. Invest in debt securities issued not only by government but also Corporate & financial
institutions
2. Target low risk & stable income
3. Higher price fluctuation risk as compared to money market funds due to significantly
higher maturity period exposures
4. Higher credit risk than gilt funds due to corporate profile
5. Do not target capital appreciation; generate high current income & distribution
substantial part of surpluses to investors.
Third Phase (1993-2003) / Entry of Private Sector Funds: -
All Figures are in Crores

Place of Mutual Fund in Financial Market
Indian household started allocating more of their saving to the capital market in 1980 s with the
investment flowing into equity & Debt instrument beside the conventional mode of the bank
deposits.
Until 1992 Primary Market investors were assured good return as the price of the new equity
issues was controlled. After Introduction of free pricing of shares & with greater volatility in the
Stock Markets, many investors who bought overpriced shares lost money & withdrew from the
markets altogether. Even those investors who continued as direct investors in the Stock Market
realized that the key to the successful investing on the capital markets lay in the building a
diversified portfolio that in turn require substantial capital. Besides selecting securities with
growth & income was not possible for all investor. Under similar circumstances in other
countries, Mutual Fund had emerged as Professional Intermediaries.
Besides providing the expertise in stock market, investing these funds allows investing in small
amount& yet holding a diversified portfolio to limit risk. In India, Unit Trust of India occupied this
20
place as the only capital market intermediary Institution is emerging in India, as elsewhere as a
good alternative to direct investing in the Capital Market.
Mutual Funds serves as a link between the saving public & the capital market in that they
mobilized saving from investors & bring them to borrower in the Capital Market. By the Very
nature of their activities &by virtue of being knowledgeable & informed investors, they influence
the Stock Market & play an active role in promoting good corporate governance, investor
protection & the health of capital market. Mutual Fund have imparted much needed liquidity
into the financial system & challenged the hitherto dominant role of banking & financial
institution in the Capital Markets.

The Advantages of Mutual Fund
 Portfolio Diversification: Each Investor in a Fund is a part of the funds entire asset, thus
enabling him to hold a diversified investment Portfolio even with a small amount of
investment, which would otherwise require big capital.
 Professional Management: Even if an investor has a big amount of Capital available to
him, he benefits from the professional management Skill brought in by the fund in the
management of the investor s portfolio. The investment management skills, along with
the needed research into available investment option, ensure a much better return than
what an Investor can manage on his own. Few investors have the skill & resource of their
own to success in today s fast moving, global & sophisticated markets.
 Reduction / Diversification of Risk: When an investor invests directly, all the risk of
Potential loss is his own, weather he places deposits with a company or bank, or buys a
share debenture on his own or in any other instrument benefits of acollective investment
vehicle are from the Mutual Fund.

investors bear all the cost of investing such as brokerage or custody of securities. When
through a fund, he has the benefit of economic of scale; the fund pays lesser costs
because of large volume, a benefit passed on to is investor.
 Liquidity: Often, investors hold share or bonds they cannot directly, easily & quickly sell.
When they invest in the units of a fund, they can generally, case their investment any
time, by selling their units to the fund if open-ended, or selling them in the market if the
fund is closed end. Liquidity of investment is clearly a big benefit.

services that a direct market investor cannot get. Investors can easily transfer their
holding form one scheme to the other, get updated market information, easy to Invest,

The Disadvantages of Mutual Fund
No Control Over Costs: An investor in a Mutual Fund has no control Over the overall cost of
investing. He pays investment management fees as long as he remains with the funds, in return
for the professional management & research. Fees are payable even while the value of his
investment may be declining. A mutual fund investor also pays fund distribution costs, which he
would not incur in direct investing.
No Tailor-made Portfolios: Investors who invest on their own can build their own portfolios of
shares, bonds & other securities. Investing through Funds means he delegates this decision to
the fund manager. The very high -net-worth individuals or large corporate investors may find this
to be a constraint in achieving their objectives.
Managing a Portfolio of Funds: Availability of a large number of funds can actually mean too
much choice for the investor. He may again need advice on how to select a fund achieve his
objectives, quite similar to the situation when he has to selectindividual shares or bonds to invest
in.

Accounting for Mutual Fund
Balance Sheet of a Mutual Fund is different from that of a bank. All the Funds belong to the
investors & are held in fiduciary capacity for them.
 NAV: Investor s subscriptions are unit capital rather than deposits or liability.
 Investments made on behalf of investors are reflected on assets side
 There are liabilities but of strictly short term nature.
NAV= (Market value of investment + Receivables + Other Accrued income + Other
Assets) (Accrued Expense + Other Payables + Other Liabilities) / No: of Units Outstanding
as at NAV date.
28
 NAV of all schemes to be calculated & published daily. Close- Ended schemes that are not
mandatory required to be listed on Stock Exchange may declare NAV once in a month or
quarter as permitted by SEBI.
 Mutual Fund NAV is affected by four set of factors
-Purchase & sale of investment securities
-Valuation of all investment securities held
-Others assets & liabilities
-Units sold or redeemed
 Other assets include any income due to the fund but not actual received as on the
valuation date. Other liabilities include similar liabilities include similar liabilities. These
are to be accounted for on an accrual basis. Major expenses like Management fee to be
accrued on a daily basis. If non-accrual does not affect the NAV by more than 1% then it
may not be accrued for that valuation date.
 Non-recording of addition /sales of investments transaction or Sales/purchase of units
can be postponed to the next valuation date in case such non-recording is not impacting
the NAV by more than 2%.
 NAV = Net assets of scheme / No of units Outstanding
(I.e. Market value of investments+ Receivables+ Other accrued income+ Other assets- accrued
expenses- Other Payables- Other liabilities/No. of units outstanding as at the NAV date)
How is NAV Computed
 Market value of Equities - Rs.100 crores - Asset
 Market value of Debentures - Rs.50 crores - Asset
 Dividends Accrued - Rs.1 crore - Income
 Interest Accrued - Rs.2 crores - Income
 Ongoing Fee payable - Rs.0.5 crore - Liability
 Amount payable on shares purchased -Rs.4.5 crore - Liability
 No. of units held in the Fund: 10 crore units
NAV per unit = [(100+50+1+2) -(0.5+4.5)]/10
= [153-5]/10
= Rs. 14.80
NAV- Other Information
 Open end funds to declare NAV daily
 NAV to be published at least weekly
29
 Close end Schemes (which are not listed) may publish NAV monthly/quarterly with prior
approval from SEBI (MIP)
 NAV has to consider up to date transactions
 Non - recorded transactions not to affect NAV calculation by more than 2%
NAV is influenced by-
1. Purchase and sale of Investment
2. Valuation of Investment
3. Other assets and Liabilities
4. Units sold or redeemed.
Change in NAV-
For NAV Change in absolute term= (NAV at end of the Period-NAV at Beginning of Period)
*100/NAV at Beginning of Period
NAV Change in annualized terms= (NAV Change in %age in absolute terms) *365/No. of Days.
Loads-
 Entry Loads or Front Ended Load (Now Discontinued)
Paid at the time of Purchase.
Sale Price =NAV/1-Sales Load (if any)
 Exit Load or Back Ended Load
Paid at the time of Exit
Redemption Price =NAV/ (1+Exit Load)
 Contingent Deferred Sales Load
Deferred Exit Load depends on the Time Period
Also Known as Deferred Load
Sale Price
 Sale price is the price at which units are sold to the Investors.
 Sale Price =NAV +Entry Load
 Computation of Sale Price =NAV/(1-Load)
For Example: -
 Market value of Equities - Rs.100 crores - Asset
 Market value of Debentures - Rs.50 crores - Asset
30
 Dividends Accrued - Rs.1 crore - Income
 Interest Accrued - Rs.2 crores - Income
 Ongoing Fee payable - Rs.0.5 crore - Liability
 Amount payable on shares purchased -Rs.4.5 crore - Liability
 No. of units held in the Fund: 10 crore units
NAV per unit
= [(100+50+1+2) -(0.5+4.5)]/10
= [153-5]/10
= Rs. 14.80

market instruments have varying degrees of risk, the Degree of risk being the highest in equities
& the risk factor is highlighted in the respective offer documents as well as in the abridged offer

The above graphs show the Average quarterly dividend provided to the investors during each
financial year of Kotak Bond Fund. The data shows the increase in the amount of dividend
provided by the scheme year on year. The straight line depicts the rise in the dividend yield by
the fund and the half straight line depicts the standard deviation which means the standard error
taking place will lie on that half straight line. If the dividend lies below or above the line, then it
will be called the abnormal return provided by the scheme.
Here, during the financial year 2010-201, the scheme has given an abnormal return on the
investment made by the investors that is Rs. 10.49055 which lies below the line of standard
deviation (also known as standard error line).
Again, during the financial year 2014-2015, the scheme has given an abnormal return of Rs.
11.08854 which lies above the standard error line. Also during the financialyear 2012-2013 Kotak
Bond fund has given abnormal return, that is return more than average.
So, here the conclusion derived is that an average return by the scheme helps the industry to
grow and manage the assets in a better way.

 Bond scheme works on asset allocation model of 70:30 where Fund Managers take active
duration call through Gilt investment. The balance is invested in corporate bond segment
in order to provide yield cushion to guard the fund against the volatilities.
 The month of September was full with suspense and volatilities but the difference was
this time yields fell sharply on the back of favorable FOMC and 50bps repo rate cut which
was more than expected and RBI kept the room for more cuts open. However, since our
portfolio was being made with this kind of outcome for a long period of time, however
they increased the duration marginally much during this month. Consequently, the
duration also went to 17.88 years, Modified duration 8.50 and YTM of 7.92%.
 They continue to stay overweight in the 14-30 years’ segment in Gilt and 7-10 years in the
corporate bonds. We believe that these are the optimal points on the yield curve.
 Due to 50bps cut in the repo rate by RBI the value of the existing paper in the market has
gone up, which is the reason giving extra weight to the Government securities in the
portfolio.

 The month of december was a volatilemonth and market was grappling with concerns on
fiscal slippage and power bonds the 10 year G-secs yeild remain flat month on month
while the less than 10 years yeild came down and more than 10 years went up. However,
since our portfolio was overweight on the long bonds it was hurt adversly.
 They reduce the risk from the portfolio it was in time probably we should have been more
aggressive but we believe that that as absolute levels are high and therefore it’s a risky
bet to stay out given such a strong macro.
 We were able to sell in time but believe we covered it too soon.
 We took the Average maturity duration down to 14.65 years, modified duration 7.25

Portfolio Action as on March 31st, 2015
 Bond scheme works on an asset allocation model of 90:10, where Fund managers take
active duration call through gilt investment and the balance is invested in corporate bond
segment.
 This is done in order to provide yield cushion to protect the fund against the volatilities
while also position the funds to capture duration-related gains. We increase our
allocation to G-sec to take advantage of market sell off as we believe that negatives are
priced in.
 The month of march begin with bullish tone and sustained due to series of events which
occurred during the month and led to marvelous rally in the G-sec and bond market.
 The curve entered in a bull flattening mode in 10-30 years’ segment as we were
anticipating and were positioned to gain therefore we booked some profit ahead of
monetary policy and switched in SDL to the tune of 20% of the scheme that not only gave
profits but also increase YTM of the fund.
 They took at the SDL at 75 bps spread over G-sec and we expect it to compress to 50 bps.
This activity led to reduction in duration of the fund.
 The fund duration is at 13.43 years, Modified Duration 6.85 Years, and YTM of 8.26%.

Monthly Dividend for the Financial Year 2015-2016
The above graph shows the monthly dividend received by the individual investors and the other
investors (other investors includes the indirect clients, HUF’s, etc.) The linear dividend per unit is
following the downtrend and is decreasing slowly and steadily, But Because the dividend is lying
within the standard error bar, there is a low probability that the investors will pull off their
investments because of the very low risk associated by the debt fund and that too the dividend
is lying within the standard error. The other investors are considered to be the indirect clients
who use to make their investment with the help of any other individual such as IFA’s
(Independent Financial Advisor), ND’s (National Distributors), etc. and the person use to take a
certain amount of commission to service them. This is the main reason why direct dividend use
to be higher than indirect dividend.

  • 6. 6 Objective of the Project Theoretical Knowledge without Practical Experience is of no use. So, without Practical implementations, theory remains no use. Hence we need to gain the Practical Experience. And what better would be, then a Project work for the same. Also as a part of our PGDM curriculum, we need to undergo for the Summer Internship programmed for minimum of 8 Weeks, in a company. I selected area of MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY, which pools the funds & reduces risk by investing in different diversified assets.Istudied as to how this industry proves to an option for the investors, by studying the performance of mutual funds for few months considering their Net Asset Values. Hence this is a project work on a “Debt Portfolio Analysis with special reference to Kotak Bond Fund”. Selection of Topic Generally, when we decide to study the investment options available in today’s complex & risky scenario, we should thoroughly evaluate the option upon various factors. These factors should include:  The Past Performance of the option under study  Risk adjusted returns from the invested plan  The Economic Factors  Fund House When observed the above parameters for the evolution of The Financial Performance of the option under study, then immediate concept that clicks our mind is MUTUAL FUNDS. So for this, I have selected to study Debt Scheme Analysis as investment option. Study of Debt Fund includes: -  Study of Debt, Bonds, Securities, etc.  Risk Measurement & risk diversifications  Analyzing a Particular Scheme.
  • 7. 7 Objective of the Study  How to find the RIGHT SCHEME to buy & Redeem at RIGHT TIME, thereby mobilizing the saving aptly.  How to get good return on investment  How to achieve Capital appreciations  To analyze the performance of Various Schemes of the Fund House. Methodology of the Project Defining objective won’t suffice unless & until a proper methodology is to achieve the objectives. 1. The methodology of the project here is to analyze the investments Opportunities available for the investors & study the returns & risk involved in various investment opportunities. 2. Study of investment management, risk management & portfolio Diversification. 3. The methodology of the project here is to analyze the Mutual Fund performance based on: -  NAV (Net Asset Value): - It tracked the daily NAV’s of the Mutual Funds to compute the performance.  Total Return Basis: By taking into account dividends distributed by the funds between the two NAV s change to arrive at a total return.  Portfolio turnover Ratio: This means the Amount of Buying & selling done by a fund.  Study Financial & Legal obligations of Mutual Funds. Scope of the Study The study encompasses different aspects from point of view of investors as follows. 1. Investment portfolio selection 2. types of Mutual Funds 3. Expected returns on investment 4. Investment in Tax Saving Schemes. Despite various problems, India Could still have a lot of profitable opportunities to offer in this sector. And giventhe fact it is the major emerging market to open up. It is equally important that, even if its various Fund Investments can harness a small part of the total funds available internationally, Indian Foreign Exchange reserves will shoot up. According to World Bank Study, portfolio investment in the emerging markets will rise (Actual figures are yet not published for the same).
  • 8. 8 Limitations of the Study  This project is not funded one, hence it gets restricted to a mere in depth study & few guidelines for investors.  This study is carried out in pursuance of curriculum MBA, which is mandatory for period of two months; hence exhaustive data is not available upon which conclusion can be relied upon.  NAV are prone to environmental factors 7 which would influencethe value during trading. Investments in Securities carry risks & Mutual Fund units are no exception.  Risk being erosion in the Market value of the Investment of decrease in the percentage dividends declared by the Mutual Fund. The risk factors inherent in a Mutual Fund Schemes are the schemes, market risk, & the investment experience of the Asset Management Company.  Factors affecting the Market Price of Investment may be due to Market forces, performance of the companies, Govt. Policies, Interest rates & so on.  Study for all the existing Mutual Fund Schemes is not feasible, Sample schemes of all Mutual Fund Types are considered for the Study. Kotak Mahindra Group of Companies This Group Consists Following Companies: -  Kotak Mahindra Bank Limited (KMBL)  Kotak Mahindra Old Mutual Life Insurance Ltd  Kotak Securities  Kotak Mahindra General Insurance Company Ltd.  Kotak Investment Banking (KMCC)  Kotak Mahindra Prime Ltd(KMPL)  Kotak International Business  Kotak Private Equity Group(KPEG)  Kotak Realty Fund  Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Company(KMAMC): - Kotak Mahindra Asset Management Company offers a complete bouquet of asset management products and services that are designed to suit the diverse risk return profiles of each and every type of investor. KMAMC and Kotak Mahindra Bank are the sponsors of Kotak Mahindra Pension Fund Ltd, which has been appointed as one of six fund managers to manage pension funds under the New Pension Scheme (NPS).
  • 9. 9 Company’s Vision and Mission To be the most trusted Global Indian Financial Services brand and the most preferred financial services employer with focus on creating value.  The Global Indian Financial Services Brand: -Our customers will enjoy the benefits of dealing with a global Indian brand that best understands their needs and delivers customized pragmatic solutions across multiple platforms.  We will be a world class Indian financialservices group.

Just as the inquiry fund manager has to go through a stock selection process, a debt fund manager has to select from whole universe of debt securities he wants to invest in. Classification of Debt Securities Many instruments give regular income. However, in the context of debt mutual funds, manager invest only in market-trader instrument (not in loans as done by the bank) debt instrument may be secured by the assets of the borrowers as in case of corporate, or be unsecured as is the case with Indian Financial Bond. A Debt is issued by a borrower & is often known by the issuercategory thus giving us Government security & Corporate Securities or FI Bonds. Debt instrument are also distinguished by their maturity profile. Thus, instrument issued with short term maturities, typically under one year maturities are classified as Money Market Securities instrument carrying Long then one year maturities are generally called Debt Securities. Most debt securities are interested bearing. However, there are securities that are discounted securities or zero coupon bonds that are generally fixed that pay interest on a Floating Rate basis. There are lots of new instruments coming in the debt markets.
  • 10. 10 Instruments in the Indian Debt Market The objective of a debt is to provide investors with a stable income stream. Hence, a debt fund invests mainly in instrument that yields a fixed rate of return & where the principal is secured. The debt market in Indian offers the following instruments for investment for by Mutual Funds. Certificates of Deposits Certificates of Deposit (CD) are issued by scheduled commercial banks excluding regional rural banks. These are unsecured negotiable promissory notes. Banks CDs have a maturity period of 91 days to one year, while those issued by FI s have maturities between one & three years. Collateralized Borrowing and Lending Obligation (CBLO) A collateralized borrowing and lending obligation (CBLO) is a money market instrument that represents an obligation between a borrower and a lender as to the terms and conditions of the loan. Collateralized borrowing and lending obligations (CBLOs) are used by those who have been phased out of or heavily restricted in the interbank call money market. Commercial Paper Commercial Paper (CP) is a short term, unsecured issued by corporate bodies (Public & Private) to meet short-term working capital requirement. Maturity varies between 3 months & 1 year. This instrument can be incorporated in Indian. CP s can be issued to NRI s on non-repairable & non- transferable basis. Corporate Debentures The debentures are usually issued by manufacturing companies with physical assets, as secured instruments; in the form of certificates they are assigned a credit rating by rating agencies. Trading in Debentures is generally based on the current yield & market values are based on yield of maturity. All publicly issued Debentures is listed on exchange. Floating Rate Bonds These are short to medium term bearing instruments issued by the financial intermediaries & corporate. The typicalmaturity of these bonds is 3to 5 years.FRB s issuedby FinancialInstitutions are generally unsecured while those from private corporate are secured. The FRB s are pegged to different reference as much as T- bill or bank deposits rates. The FRB s issued by the Government of Indians are in the form of Stock Certified of issued by credit to SGL accounts maintained by the RBI.
  • 11. 11 Government Security These are medium to long term interest bearing obligations issued through the RBI by the Government of India & State Governments. The RBI decides the cut-off on the basis of bids received during the auctions. These are issued where the rates are pre-specified & the investor s only bids for the quality. In most cases, the coupon is paid semiannually with bullet redemption features. A large part of the trading is concentrated in those government securities that are eligible for repost (repurchase) transition, i.e. sale of a security with a parallel agreement to repurchase the same at a future date. The RBI acts as the depository; its public debt office maintains an SGL account for various banks & Financial Institution, & issues or transfers the securities in the form of book entries made in SGL accounts. If a fund does not have an SGL account, it may open a constitution account with any RBI- registered bank. Treasury Bills T- Bills are shortly obligation issued through the RBI by the Government of India at a discount the RBIIssues T-Bills fordifferent tenures: 14 days, 91 days &364 days.These treasury bills areissued through an auction procedure. The yield is determined on the basis bids tendered & accepted. Bank/ FI Bond Most of the institutional bonds are in the form of promissory notes transferable by endorsement & delivery. These are negotiable, issued by the Financial Institution such as IDB/ ICICI/ IFCI or by commercial bank. These instruments have been issued both as regular income bonds & as discounted long term instruments (deep discount bonds). Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) Bonds PSU Bonds are medium & long term obligation issued by Public sector companies in which the government shareholding is generally greater than 51%. Some PSU Bonds carry tax exemptions. The maximum maturity is 5 years for Taxable bonds & 7 years for Tax- Free Bonds. PSU bonds are generally, not guaranteed by the government & are in the form of promissory notes transferable by endorsement & delivery. PSU bonds in Electronic form (Demat) are eligible report transactions. Basic Characteristics of Bonds or Debt Security A debt fund or a bond fund generally invest a large part of its corpus in longer term fixed income in debit securities issued by government, companies or Banks/ FI s. A small part is invested in money market. In Indian context, long dated government securities, corporate debentures & FI Bonds from the bulk of debt fund portfolios.
  • 12. 12 Bonds have the following four keys characteristics set at the time of issue:  Par Value: This is the principal amount that investors will be paid upon Maturity of the bonds, & is also known as the face value.  Coupon: This is the annual rate of interest paid on the par value of the Bond to the investor.  Maturity: This refers to the term of the bond that is, the date on which the Bond that is, the date on which the issuer has to repay the principle amount of the Bond.  Call orProvision:Theseareincluded insome bond contracts to allow the issuerthe option to redeem the bonds before Maturity thereby allowing refinance of debt at lower interest rates. Measuring of Bond Yields: Returns on a fixed income security is generally computed in the form of Current Yield or a Yield to Maturity. Current Yield: This relates interest on a Bond to its Current Market Price by dividing the annual coupon interest by the current market price.  Yield to Maturity (YTM): This is a sophisticated technique of bond analysis. Posen defines YTM (also known as the bonds IRR) as the annual rate of return & investors would realize if he a bond at a particular price, & received the principal at maturity. YTM allows investors to compare bond with different coupons, maturities & price & is quoted for trading purposes. The relationship between the price & YTM of a bond is expressed by the following formula: PRICE= Coupon / (1+ YTM) + Coupon2 / (1+ YTM) 2. +(Coupon Principle) / (1+ YTM) n The inverse relation between price & YTM is important in bond portfolio management.  Yield Curve: This is the graph showing yields for bonds various maturities, using a benchmark group of bond, such as the Government Securities. This is also known as the Term Structure of Interest Rates (TRIR). This yields curve usually upwards sloping become longer maturities generally offer higher yields. This is because longer term debt carries higher risk on account of inflation & other economic factors. The yield curve is important indicators of expected trends in interest rates.
  • 13. 13 Riskin Investing in Bond 1) Interest Rates-Risk: The price of bond will change in a direction opposite to movement in interest rates. When interest rates rise bond price will fall, thus an existing bond portfolio losing valve. A sound analysis of interest rates movement is therefore essential. 2) Reinvestment Risk: A bonds yield to maturity assumes reinvestment of interest received during the term at a constant rate. This not may be possible if interest rate changes & risk is of uncertain cash flow being reinvested at a lower rate. 3) Call Risk: If a bond has been issued with a call provision the issuer may call them back & return the proceeds to the investors whenever interest rates fall, so the borrowing can be replaced with cheaper debt. The investor thus cannot keep a high yield bond. 4) Default Risk: A bond is a subject to the risk that is assured may default on its obligation to make timely principle & interest payments. A fund needs to assess this risk based on the bonds rating & the analysis generated by its research on issuer s cash flows. 5) Inflation Risk: When the inflation rate rises, purchasing power decline. Therefore, the value of interest payment is reduced. Investors will therefore expect higher yields in bonds. Higher interest rate will make the existing bond lose value again. 6) Liquidity Risk: This refer to the ease with which investment in a bond can be liquidated (or sold) at a price near its value. This element is important for a fund because its investments are made on behalf of unit-holder & market conditions may require the fund to liquidate a part of its portfolio within a short time. Investment Policies andRestriction Investment Policy: Investment Policies of each scheme are dictated by its investment objective as stated in the offer document. In practice the board policy guidelines are included in the offer documents while the day to day policies are laid down by the AMC management for the fund manager to conform to fund manager do have some flexibility in alerting the strategy in the light of changing market condition & in specific selection. Investment strategy of an equity fund will lay down guideline on which sectors & what kind of companies to invest in, what percentage will be held in the form of cash or money market

SEBI s main objective in laying down restriction on AMC s is to ensure investor protection. The objective is attained by: 1. Maintaining minimum level of diversification in Mutual Fund Investments. 2. Ensuring that the Investor s funds are used to favor a few or associated invested in approved securities only. To attain this Regulatory objectives, some major restrictions imposed by SEBI. Minimum Portfolio DiversificationNorms Investment in equity shares or equity related instruments of a single company are restricted to 10% of the NAV as a scheme. However, the limit of 10 % does not apply in case of sector/industry specified schemes subject to adequate discloser in the offer documents. The basic objective here is to ensure that a fund a fund has an adequately diversified portfolio unless the specified objective if the scheme is to limit the investments. Similarly, for debt schemes, SEBI restricts the investment in rated investment grade debt instrument issued by a single issuer is not allowed to exceed 10% of the NAV subject to approval of board of AMC & trustee company? These restrictions do not apply to & money & government securities. SEBI s restriction on the investment in unlisted share to a minimum of 10 % of the NAV of a scheme for closed end scheme. In case of open ended the limits may be made more stringent to 5% of the NAV of the scheme as there is continuous purchase by investors in such a scheme.
  • 15. 15 INTRODUCTION TO MUTUAL FUNDS The Concept of Mutual Fund Industry A Mutual Fund is a common pool money into which investor place their contribution that is to be investors in accordance with a stated objective. The ownership of the joint or Mutual, the fund belongs to the contribution make a single investor s ownership of the fund to the total amount of the fund. A mutual fund is a collective investment that allows many investors, with a common objective, to pool individual investments and give to a professional manager who in turn would invest these monies in line with the common objective. A Mutual Fund used the money collected from investors to buy those assets, which are specifically permitted by its stated investment objective. Thus an equity fund would buy equity asset- ordinary shares, preferences share, warrants etc. a bond fund would buy debt instrument such as debentures, bonds, or government securities. It is these assets, which are owns by the investor in the same proportion as their contribution bears to the total contribution of all investor put together. Since each owner is a part owner of a Mutual Fund, it is necessary to establish the value of his part. In other words, each share or unit that investors hold needs to be assigned a value. Since the unit held by investors evidence the ownership of the funds asset, the value of total asset of the fund. When divided by the total number of units issuedby the Mutual Fund gives us the value of one unit. This is generally called the net asset value (NAV) of the number of unit held. Emergence of Mutual Fund Mutual Funds now represent perhaps the most appropriate investment opportunity for most investor, as financial markets become more sophisticated & complex. Investors need a Financial Intermediary who provides the required knowledge & professional expertise on successful investing. It is no wonder then in the birthplace of Mutual Fund the U.S.A. the fund industry has already overtaken the banking industry more funds being under Mutual Fund Management than deposited with the bank. The Indian Mutual Fund Industry is a fast growing segment of the economy. The Industry consists of 36 Mutual Funds including Unit Trust of India. With 397 schemes spread over variety products the industry today manages assets close to Rs. 97,000 crores. The Indian Mutual Fund Industry has already started opening up, of many of exciting investment opportunity to Indian investors. We have started witnessing the phenomenon of more saving now being entrusted to the funds than to the banks. Mutual Funds as still a new Financial Intermediary in India. Hence it is important that the investors should make proper analysis of the available scheme in the market. The investment advisor & even the fund employees acquire better knowledge of what Mutual Funds are. What, they can do for investor & what they cannot
  • 16. 16 & how they function differently from other intermediaries such as the banks. The association of Mutual Funds in India has commissioned a workbook, as the basic compellation of the minimum knowledge requires by both fund distributors & the employees. The workbook provided by AMFI can serve as a guide distributors & employees. History ofMutual Funds in India The Indian Mutual Fund Industry began with the formation of the Unit Trust of India (UTI) in 1964 by the Government. UTI was formed as a non-profit organization governed under a special legislation, the Unit Trust of India Act, 1963. It had a monopoly up to 1987 & during this period, UTI launched a series of equity & debt schemes & established itself as a household name with assets under management of Rs. 4563 crore & unit holder accounts of slightly under 3 Million by mid-1987. UTI s growth continued up to 1996 when the strong entry of private sector players saw its share of the market reducing sharply although UTI continues to be a dominant force in the Indian Financial Services industry with assets of over Rs. 67,000 crores as of December 31, 1999. In 1987, the Industry saw the entry of Public Sector Mutual Funds, i.e. funds promoted by public sector banks & financial institutions, such as SBI, Canara Bank, LIC & IDBI. Predictably they were given the brand of them promoters such as SBI Mutual Fund, Canara bank Mutual Fund, and LIC Mutual Fund & IDBI Mutual Fund. Other Public Sector Mutual Funds also entered the market but UTI continued to remain the dominant player with a share of 84% in 1991-92. The Government first allowed private sector participation in 1993 & the subsequent entry of a large number of players has made the industry very competitive. The diagram below shows the three segments & a few of the players in each segment. UTI was started, at the initiative of the Reserve Bank of India & the Government of India. The objective then was to attract the small investors & introduce them to market investment. Since, then the History of Mutual Funds in India can be broadly divided into three distinct phases. Phase I: 1964 87 (Unit Trust of India) This phase spans from 1964 to 1988. In 1963, UTI was establishedby an act of Parliament & given a monopoly. Operationally, UTI was set up by the Reserve Bank of India, but was later de-linked from the RBI. The first & still one of the largest schemes, launched by the UTI was Unit Scheme 1964. Over the years, US-64 attracted & probably still has the largest number of investors in any single investments schemes. First Phase (1964- 1987): -
  • 17. 17 June 30, 2000 UTI Bank Sponsored Institutions Private Sector Establishment of UTI in 1963: -In 1978, UTI was delinked from the RBI & the Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) & took over the regulatory & administrative control in place of RBI. The first scheme launched by UTI was Unit Scheme in 1964.At the end of 1988 UTI had Rs.6, 700 crores of assets under Mgmt. UTI had grown large as evidence by the following statistics: Phase II: 1987-1993 (Entry of Public Sector Funds) 1987, Marked the entry of non-UTI public sector Mutual Funds, bringing in competition. With the opening of economy, many public sector bank & financial institution was allowed to establish Mutual Funds. The State Bank of India established the first non-UTI Mutual Fund- SBI Mutual Fund- in November 1987. This was followed by Can Bank Mutual Fund (launched in December, 1987), LIC Mutual Funds (launched in 1989) & Indian Bank Mutual Funds (launched in 1990) followed by Bank of India Mutual Fund, GIC Mutual Fund & PNB Mutual Fund. The private sector players, after an indifferent start in the early years, have made a strong impression especially in the larger cities, with a high quality of fund management, sales & customer service. This sector has dented UTI’s dominance resulting in a falling market share towards the end of the last millennium.

Place of Mutual Fund in Financial Market Indian household started allocating more of their saving to the capital market in 1980 s with the investment flowing into equity & Debt instrument beside the conventional mode of the bank deposits. Until 1992 Primary Market investors were assured good return as the price of the new equity issues was controlled. After Introduction of free pricing of shares & with greater volatility in the Stock Markets, many investors who bought overpriced shares lost money & withdrew from the markets altogether. Even those investors who continued as direct investors in the Stock Market realized that the key to the successful investing on the capital markets lay in the building a diversified portfolio that in turn require substantial capital. Besides selecting securities with growth & income was not possible for all investor. Under similar circumstances in other countries, Mutual Fund had emerged as Professional Intermediaries. Besides providing the expertise in stock market, investing these funds allows investing in small amount& yet holding a diversified portfolio to limit risk. In India, Unit Trust of India occupied this

  • 21. 21 The Advantages of Mutual Fund  Portfolio Diversification: Each Investor in a Fund is a part of the funds entire asset, thus enabling him to hold a diversified investment Portfolio even with a small amount of investment, which would otherwise require big capital.  Professional Management: Even if an investor has a big amount of Capital available to him, he benefits from the professional management Skill brought in by the fund in the management of the investor s portfolio. The investment management skills, along with the needed research into available investment option, ensure a much better return than what an Investor can manage on his own. Few investors have the skill & resource of their own to success in today s fast moving, global & sophisticated markets.  Reduction / Diversification of Risk: When an investor invests directly, all the risk of Potential loss is his own, weather he places deposits with a company or bank, or buys a share debenture on his own or in any other instrument benefits of acollective investment vehicle are from the Mutual Fund.
  • 22. 22 Tax Benefits Professional Management Diversification  Reduction of Transaction Costs: What is true of risk is also the transaction costs. The investors bear all the cost of investing such as brokerage or custody of securities. When through a fund, he has the benefit of economic of scale; the fund pays lesser costs because of large volume, a benefit passed on to is investor.  Liquidity: Often, investors hold share or bonds they cannot directly, easily & quickly sell. When they invest in the units of a fund, they can generally, case their investment any time, by selling their units to the fund if open-ended, or selling them in the market if the fund is closed end. Liquidity of investment is clearly a big benefit. Open-ended -Assures liquidity -As liquid as the banks. Close-ended -Buying and selling can be done through the stock exchange  Conventional & Flexibility: Mutual Fund Management companies offer many investors services that a direct market investor cannot get. Investors can easily transfer their holding form one scheme to the other, get updated market information, easy to Invest, Reduces excessive Paperwork etc.  Safety: SEBI & RBI have a control over Mutual Fund Making investment in Mutual Fund a safeinvestment. A very good example here quoted can be of Government of India coming to rescue of UTI s US- 64 Schemes.  Affordability: -Provides an opportunity for a small investor -Invest as less as an amount of  Wide Choice: -Offers a Varieties of Schemes -Meet the investment needs of all Investors Mutual Fund- A Packaged Product
  • 23. 23 The Disadvantages of Mutual Fund No Control Over Costs: An investor in a Mutual Fund has no control Over the overall cost of investing. He pays investment management fees as long as he remains with the funds, in return for the professional management & research. Fees are payable even while the value of his investment may be declining. A mutual fund investor also pays fund distribution costs, which he would not incur in direct investing. No Tailor-made Portfolios: Investors who invest on their own can build their own portfolios of shares, bonds & other securities. Investing through Funds means he delegates this decision to the fund manager. The very high -net-worth individuals or large corporate investors may find this to be a constraint in achieving their objectives. Managing a Portfolio of Funds: Availability of a large number of funds can actually mean too much choice for the investor. He may again need advice on how to select a fund achieve his objectives, quite similar to the situation when he has to selectindividual shares or bonds to invest in. Developing a Model Portfolio  Work with Investor to develop long-term goals  Determine Asset Allocation of the investment  Determine the sector distribution  Select specific Fund Manager & their schemes  Model Portfolio  Creativity & forecasting

Having understood the conceptual & operation aspects of Mutual Funds it is important to analyze the issues involved in the evaluation of Fund performance. The Investor Perspective: - The investor would naturally be interested in tracking through the value of as investment whether invests directly in the markets or indirectly through Mutual Funds. He would have to make intelligent decisions on whether he gets an acceptable return on his investment in the funds selectedby him. Or ifhe needs to switch to another fund, he therefore needs to understand the basis of appropriate performance measurement for the fund & acquire the basic knowledge of the different measures of evaluating the performance well or not, & make the right decisions. The Adviser’s Perspective: - If you were an intermediary recommend A Mutual Fund to a potential investor he would accept you to give him proper advice on which funds have a performance track record. If you want to be an effective investment adviser, then you too have to know how to measure & evaluate the performance of the different funds that are available to the investor. The need to compare different fund’s performance required the advisor to have the knowledge of the correct & appropriate measure of evolution the fund performance.
